It's been a very strange week in the world, and I thought we should end it with a little sharing of love.

Without making too much reference to what's been happening, what's done is done - the best we can all do is to continue being good to each other to set a good example to those around us. So I thought I'd make this week's Saturday Share link up a bit special by asking you all to share a bit more love than usual... I figured there's plenty to go round!

Let's start with a little love right here - link up all your blog and Instagram posts, visit a few links that have linked up as well, and leave some nice comments for others.

The link up is a chance for you to reach more people by sharing your current and evergreen posts (hence why you can link up old posts), and find amazing new bloggers and their amazing posts. Of course it also helps me with traffic if you stop buy - did you also know that comments are great because it helps bloggers with their SEO? The more a blog is updated with new content (that includes comments, as mentioned in my pros and cons of blogging daily post), the more visible it'll be in searches.

Comments count towards updated content, so get clicking through and commenting - it's a great way to share some love!

DID YOU KNOW COMMENTS ARE GREAT BECAUSE IT HELPS BLOGGERS WITH THEIR SEO? THE MORE A BLOG IS UPDATED WITH NEW CONTENT (THAT INCLUDES COMMENTS), THE MORE VISIBLE IT'LL BE IN SEARCHES.

I thought I'd share a few things I love (as an antidote to all the hateful stuff) this week:

Thank you for joining the #SaturdayShareLinkUp! Designed to allow you to share anything you like on ANY topic, it goes live every Friday at 9pm UK time and will stay open for a week. You can share blog posts or Instagram posts, old posts or new posts, and link up as many as you like.

PLEASE be kind and leave a link somewhere on your post, and share your post using the hashtag #SaturdayShareLinkUp - if you tweet your link with the hashtag I'll even retweet it to my followers for you :)

A hot tip for linking up:

Use clear, bright images (crop in close if necessary) and add a relevant, descriptive title (you've got 75 characters to use). These sorts of thumbnails and text always get the most clicks, so don't waste the opportunity to increase traffic and engagement on your best work!

Indeed, it's been a tumultuous week, and I for one welcome all acts of kindness, gratitude, love, empathy just about now so thank you, Catherine.

I'm talking about legacy on the blog today. What it means to me. How I want the world to remember me. That and my weekly Project Sister Act Link-Up is currently live, and will be up until next Thursday, and I would so love for you to come over and join in xoxo

Excellent info on the comments and SEO...thanks friend! Funny thing...my post title today is Love Advocate. I think recent events have made us all take a long hard look at what kind of world we want to live in. xoDebbiewww.fashionfairydust.com

Awww, LOVE! Gotta spread it, and you do such a good job of that Dear Catherine. I shared some Insta pics cuz Lord knows I'd love to create more community over there. I don't know how you do it. Really. So many avenues to reach people on....Anyway, this post about LOVE is much needed. Tough week for sure. Time for me to move on. I've taken it out in the form of cheetos and french fries--not a good thing to do for a fashion blogger! Hahah!

Do adore you though Catherine and all that you do for our blogging community!

Love, love, love - you said it, Catherine! I love your new profile photo and makes me think I could use some changes too. Thanks for the chance to showcase some of my other posts and helping to keep community alive.

Thanks Catherine, as a woman who voted Hillary in Florida needless to say I was/am in pretty deep gloom! Like you, Buster the Boxer was one of the first tings to make me smile all week! Gorgeous new profile pic! x
